Chapter 6 - Insecurities

Princess Fei Shu was led to her chamber as soon as she got to the palace.The king did not meet her, but this did not stop the other consorts from being envious. They felt she had it all; She was from a royal family and she was very beautiful, they knew soon the king will notice her and grace her.

Two days after Fei Shu settled down in the palace, she was summoned by the Queen. Fei Shu was a bit skeptical about the summon; she felt that the summon was uncalled for. it wasn't like the king had seen her or graced her.

Nevertheless, she dressed well and went to the Queen's chamber. "Consort Fei Shu" the Queen's maid announced. "Let her in" the Queen replied. The doors of the chamber opened, and she was let in. Immediately she entered, the queen looked at her up and down with jealousy that Fei Shu noticed immediately.

'She can't even hide it' Fei Shu thought. She then bowed and said "Your Majesty have you been well". Queen Yoo Yin did not bother to return her greetings but she gestured to the seat and said"Sit".

The Queen's attendants served them tea and snacks. Throughout the meeting, instead of been simple, it was filled with hatred from the Queen and even the attendants. After finishing her cup of tea, Fei Shu stood up and said "Your Majesty, I would be on my way now". The Queen waved her hand.

On her way to her chamber, Fei Shu smiled at the insecurities of the Queen. When she got to the chamber, Eunuch Liu was waiting for her, she was very surprised when his face lit up as he saw her approaching. "Consort" he bowed and greeted her.

Xinjiang and the others were irritated how they addressed their princess. It was very foreign to their ears, but nevertheless, they listened to the eunuch. "His Majesty has decided to grace you tonight.So please be ready before midnight."

Immediately he said that, Fei Shu nodded and said"Tell the King i am honored to have him grace me tonight". The eunuch nodded and left. "What impudent fellow" She Que said immediately the eunuch left. Fei Shu only smiled and said"Lei Ming, prepare the fragrance bath for me"
